Warid Gets Younis Shaikh as Chief financial Officer

Younis Iqbal Sheikh, formerly the Vice President Sales at Uone, has been appointed by Warid as Chief Commercial Officer, we just got this confirmed with sources in Ufone and Warid Telecom.

Younis Sheikh, who was once in talks with Mobilink for VP Sales’ position, was given the headship of special projects at Ufone earlier this year. Before this he has remained the chief of Ufone sales for three years and was once nominated for COO’s slot at Ufone.

Younis Sheikh’s appointment as Chief Commercial Officer of Warid will be responsible for sales, marketing and strategy functions of the company.

It merits mentioning here that role of current GM commercial of Warid was set limited a week ago or so, which now makes more sense with the CCO’s slot in place and appointment of Mr. Younis Sheikh.

Over the times, Warid has been aggressively grabbing the top notch industry professionals mainly from competition. We will have to wait to see the difference that these new changes can bring in Warid’s customers’ count.

Mobile Internet Speed is reliant on Your Smartphone

When you have endeavoured to use wireless internet of your telephone business but ended up annoying for obtaining exceedingly low speeds, the obvious error might be partially of your wireless handset.

An costly fancy teletelephone does not always guarantee the best E-GPRS (EDGE) results. This conveyed me a greeting shock during EDGE optimization agreements with one of Pakistan’s large-scale cellular systems. Their mobile internet promotion crusade is too rigorous, and for obvious reasons their respective administration have been impelling the vendor (for better internet races) to utmost bounds.

As are against to voice data, package facts and figures is reliant on the handset to a certain extent. One may anticipate the newest smartphones to be equipped with the whole required arsenal to give users the best wireless internet experience, but truth is, thus far, astonishing.

As much as it counts on the wireless teletelephone business, the maximum pace which a client can know-how while utilising mobile internet, also counts on the user’s wireless phone. If you check in your handset’s specifications, there is an suggestion to the maximum pace it can amuse. telephone which can supply maximum races on wireless internet are, mechanically, termed as GPRS Multislot Class 30 and above supportive phones.

The “designed for humans” Samsung Galaxy S III falls short to match the maximum likely downlink a wireless can sustain (as laid out primarily by ETSI and now sustained by 3GPP). Last I checked, even Apple’s iPhone 4 has the identical limitation. accurately noticing, these devices can top up to a designated day rate of 236 kbp/s on downlink in situation where there are very couple of number of users, and the treatment is very good.

Most of the vendors appear to have taken up the scheme to cloud this information from customers. The vintage ally, Nokia – however, exhibitions it vividly and also has the greatest number of telephones which can run, technically termed, GPRS/EDGE Multislot Class 30 and above. Taiwanese vendor HTC furthermore has most of its telephones Class 30 matching.

Cursorily documented, a few of the matching phones:

Nokia: Nokia Asha 302 and above; Nokia N sequence, Nokia E sequence

HTC: Desire forms; Incredible S; Salsa

In good situation (as cited above), with these phones, one can have facts and figures rates more than that reached on home internet attachment of 256 kbp/s. Knowing the greatest limits of your telephone assists in understanding why submissions like Viber and Skype do not run easily over wireless internet, only if one is curious.
